Little known LS&MS ghost short lines that shipped coal to Youngstown Sheet and Tube; the Lehigh and Wampum Cement empires in Western Pennsylvania; the "Galloping Geese" narrow gauge railbus; railroads that constructed grade with no rails; started and served the first cold drawn steel industry in America that Carnegie rejected; completed the little known Cascade Division of the BR&P. The final Chapter concludes the untold story of Germany's Arthur Koppel's American railroad enterprise that helped pull American highways out of the mud and then was seized by the American government's Trading With THE Enemy Act!
